I like to complain, learn new things & read. My favorite things to complain about are when I don't understand something I'm learning & when the humidity levels change.
Yesterday I forgot the word for hand umbrellas...

We watched The Phoenician Scheme yesterday. I can't tell if it was good or bad. I don't think I liked it or that I disliked it. Very weird, but I usually like weird.

You know those t-shirts that say "STAFF" on the back? I want one that says "STAVE" instead.

Does anyone else find id.me impossible? Every time I have tried to go to the IRS for the past -several- years, id.me doesn't recognize me as me. This is rage inducing.

Sad day in the Morrigan house. Five years ago we started fostering cavies in Knoxville before adopting two pairs. Today, the last one had an event and passed away quickly.

It infuriates me the way that Android (and iOS) will decide that a Wi-Fi network is not connected to the Internet (it is) and refuses to automatically connect to that network in the future.
I'm not a child, stop making decisions on my behalf.

The elementary school has cancelled Tuesday's winter activities. It'll be dangerous for kids to be out there, but it still amuses me that it's too cold to do cold weather activities.

Am I missing some setting to make the timeline start from where I left off? Defaulting to the newest (etc) is very Facebook.

I wonder if I could catch a good shot of the snow drifting down if I used a good camera, instead of the half defective one in my phone. I don't know if it was like this when new, because I have definitely dropped it a few times and the images captured are slurred.

WSL and VS Code work together to allow that Linux toolchain to also be set up simply. Instead, I picked the most obtuse method and so expended all of my coding time on getting C++ ready to compile. #wheee
